Ingredients
Scale
Chicken
- 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Rice
- 1 cup long-grain white rice
- 2 cups water or chicken broth
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Toppings
- 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
- 1 cup chopped fresh tomatoes
Instructions
- Prepare the chicken: Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat, then cook the chicken breasts for about 6-7 minutes per side or until fully cooked through and no longer pink in the center.
- Cook the rice: While the chicken is cooking, rinse the rice under cold water. In a pot, combine rice, water or chicken broth, and salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15-18 minutes or until the rice is tender and the liquid is absorbed.
- Combine and serve: Slice the cooked chicken if desired, then plate the rice and top with the chicken. Sprinkle crumbled feta cheese and fresh chopped tomatoes evenly over the top. Serve warm.
Notes
- For more flavor, marinate the chicken in olive oil, garlic, and herbs before cooking.
- You can substitute brown rice, but cooking time will increase.
- This dish pairs well with a side salad or steamed vegetables.
